Package: scala
Version: 2.11.12-4
Severity: important
Dear maintainer,
consider the following Scala script test.scala:
println("Hello, world!")
If I try to run
$ scala test.scala
I get the following output:
error: Compile server encountered fatal condition:
javax/tools/DiagnosticListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.tools.DiagnosticListener
[...]
Interestingly, the call stack differs for repeated executions, so I have not
included it here.
Running scala -e 'println("Hello, world!")' produces a similar error message,
but executing the code manually in the REPL seems to work.
Although the exception being thrown is a different one, this is probably
related to #903140. In particular, I do not have Java 8 installed, and my
default Java version is 11.
Please try to have a look at this soon - ideally, this problem should be fixed
before the buster freeze, because it really does impact the usability of the
package...
Kind regards,
Fabian
